Tracking the broader market, Monero’s XMR broke through the day’s first major resistance level at $105.52, with a bullish start to the day seeing Monero’s XMR strike an intraday high $105.8 before succumbing to market forces and a broad based market reversal.

The day reversal saw Monero’s XMR fall through the first major support level at $103.65 and second major support level at $102.7 to call on support at the day’s third major support level at $100.83, with a late in the day intraday low $100.8 before steadying.

Support in the final hours eased some of the pain, with Monero’s XMR recovering to $102 by the day’s end.

Wednesday and Thursday’s losses reaffirmed the extended bearish trend formed at late April’s swing hi $298, with Monero’s XMR continuing to fall short of the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $130.

At the time of writing, Monero’s XMR bucked the trend across the broader market, rising by 1.75% to $103.74, a bullish start to the day seeing Monero’s XMR rally from a start of a day morning low $102.13 to an early morning high $104.22 before easing back, the moves through the early morning leaving the day’s major support and resistance levels untested.

For the day ahead, a move back through to $104 levels would support another run at $105 levels to bring the day’s first major resistance level at $105.03 into play, though for Monero’s XMR to hold on to the early gains and take a run at the major resistance levels, sentiment across the broader market will need to improve through the morning.

Failure to move back through to $104 levels could see Monero’s XMR begin to give up gains from the early morning, with a pullback through to the morning low $102.13 bringing $100 levels and the day’s first major support level at $100.03 into play, any more material losses to test sub-$100 support levels unlikely, barring particularly negative news hitting the news wires.
